The Road Home

The Road HomeSylvia Fair uses very harsh and derogative words in the first section of ‘The Road Home’ to convey a sense that Rosie is a large person. At the very start she uses the description of a ‘solid bulge’ to give us an initial mental image of a fat yet muscular little girl and then goes on to describe ‘the heavy thud of rubber footsteps pounded’ which gives us an indication of the amount of weight being carried around by the girl. Another point in this first paragraph is when Sylvia says ‘heaved a mountain of grey’ which isn’t exactly a pleasant way to describe a girl either, this just reinforces the already pronoun knowledge that Rosie is fat. Sylvia also uses dialogue to express that Rosie is a simple person as an example of her speaking would be when Rosie says ‘Oy! Say ‘ullow to Rosie’ in an attempt to communicate with the sheep in the field. Your average person wouldn’t do this and so this helped me to the conclusion that Rosie was simple as well as how her speech would have sounded, as the word ‘ullow’ indicates there is some sort of speech difficulty present also. Another piece of evidence which supports this is when it says ‘Each time her eyes saw movement, her mouth gave a sheep like grunt’ , this shows that she was in fact trying to talk to the sheep which isn’t what a normal person would do. So, in conclusion, Sylvia uses a wide range of adjectives, phrases and dialogue to give us this mental image of a rather large, simple girl trying to talk to the sheep in the fields, whom we know as Rosie.

(1)INTRODUCTION
There are five types of precipitation.
(1) Convective precipitation
(2) Orographic precipitation
(3) Cyclonic precipitation
(4) Frontal precipitation
(5) Precipitation due to turbulent ascent
(2)Convective precipitation
Convectional precipitation results from the heating of the earth's surface. The warm ground heats the air over it. As the air warms, the air molecules begin to move further apart. With increased distance between molecules, the molecules are less densely packed. Thus, the air becomes “lighter” and rises rapidly into the atmosphere. As the air rises, it cools. Water vapor in the air condenses into clouds and precipitation. This type of precipitation is common in the Prairies and Ontario.

...Why do you think McCarthy has chosen not to give his characters names? How do the generic labels of “the man” and “the boy” affect the way you /readers relate to them?
While reading The Road, a novel written by Cormac McCarthy, I was jerked from the warmth, comfort, and safety of my home and thrown into a cold, dark, and desolate world, walking alongside “the man” and “the boy”. McCarthy composes his work so graphically that readers are drawn right into the story. I believe Cormac McCarthy wanted the figures in this book to be universal, so that the reader could imagine him/her self as “the boy” or “the man” at any given moment, and to be able to feel as they do. To do this McCarthy did not designate the characters in his book with names, and because of this, I was able to connect with “the man” and “the boy” on a personal level and envision myself uniting with them in their chilling journey.
As the reader, I was deeply overwhelmed with many mixed emotions such as compassion, sadness, happiness, disgust, remorse, and fear. I have pity for the characters in the book The Road, because “the man” and “the boy” have to pass day to day struggling to survive in a frigid bleak world where food is scarce “They squatted in the road and ate rice and cold beans they’d cooked days ago.” “Already beginning to ferment.”(McCarthy 29). The landscape is blackened, and mankind is almost extinct “The mummied dead...

...opportunities to reflect on their own world
To what extent do you agree with this view?
The Road written by Cormac McCarthy is a post-apocalyptic novel about a man and a boy travelling down across what seems to be a bleak and dull land. In this book, we see a world that seems to have a bleak and dark future without a lot of hope. Land is somehow destroyed, perhaps by a natural cause. The cycle of seasons has been completely altered and there is a lack of civilisation. Although the book is constantly depressing and dark, there are moments that we have some glimpse of hope, and moments where there are some humanity portrayed. This is usually shown by one of the main characters, the boy. Through this novel, we are able to look at a world that is almost completely ruined and allows us to reflect on that. McCarthy is shows us through vivid description that if we continue to play around with nature, such as polluting our current world, one of the possible conclusions could result to being in a world such as the one we see in The Road. Therefore I agree to a large extent that the book provides us readers and opportunity to reflect on our own world.
McCarthy’s use of language provides us a vivid image in our minds to the post apocalyptic world that the book is set in. We are seen through a number of ways such as through descriptions of reality, morality, immorality and violence to show us the world The Road is set. “People sitting...

Sometimes in our life, we need to exert some actions just to prove that we can do something. Just like nowadays, wherein we need to present some proofs and evidences to show that what we are saying is merely true.
Accordingly, to Thomas Carlyle “You can tell a man he is brave, and you will help him to become so.” The essence of valour depends merely on the people who surround you. Every word they utter and actions they express has something to do with what you are usually doing or what you usually portrays. It is inevitable to receive some discriminations or bad feedbacks from those people. However, change is the only constant thing in this world, so there is no reason for you to grab that change and show to those people that they are wrong, it does not imply however that you must take vengeance. In contrary, you must also believe and show to yourself that they are wrong, for people who never makes mistake is the one who never does anything. Thus, we must become the change we want to see.
Furthermore, this is what the story entitled “The Tale of Tonyo the Brave” is all about, wherein the main character, Tonyo is somewhat wimp at first,...

Re: Research Paper
Cormac McCarthy's The Road is an epic that will amaze anyone. McCarthy was raised Roman Catholic and attended Catholic High School in Knoxville, then went to the University of Tennessee in 1951-52 where he majored in liberal arts. McCarthy joined the U.S. Air Force in 1953 where he served four years, spending two of them stationed in Alaska, where he hosted a radio show. He has written ten novels, spanning the Southern Gothic, Western, and Post-apocalyptic genres. In 2006, Alfred A. Knopf published The Road, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. McCarthy was granted an interview with Oprah Winfrey, who had chosen The Road for her Book Club.The Road was awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize in Literature, and it also won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. McCarthy was truly a great writer!
The Road opens after some unknown apocalyptic event has struck. The first few pages of the novel situate us in the landscape ash, isolation, and a long road to travel. The Boy and The Man are the main characters of the book. They suffer from exposure to cold temperatures and from a lack of food. They encounter many dangers on the road to the south. They travel inland, in a pine forest, and make it to a point where The Man can't go any farther. We're not sure if he dies from the arrow...

...Development of road from Gulbarga - Kazi Kotnoor – Hebbal - Kalagi - Sulepet - Chincholli - Konchavaram to Andhra Pradesh Border leading to Zahirabad in Andra Pradesh.
Chincholi is one of the most backward taluka’s of Gulbarga district despite the fact that it has rich mineral, forest and agricultural resources. At present Gulbarga is connected to Hyderabad through Wagdari-Gulbarga-Sedam-Rebbanpalli road. However, Chincholi taluka which is closer to Hyderabad does not have any direct and smooth connectivity. The present road length between Gulbarga via Chincholi to Hyderabad is 226 kms. The proposed project covers length of 195 kms only.
Objective:
The main reason for backwardness of Chincholi taluka is lack of connectivity to district headquarters/neighboring state capital.
a. The main objective of this project is to establish a safe, speedy & comfortable road connectivity from Gulbarga to Chincholli (taluka head quarter) and Kalagi (taluka to be formed) and nearby district place Zaheerabad of Andhra Pradesh.
b. To facilitate industrial growth in cement and sugar.
c. To facilitate transportation and marketing of banana, mango, vegetable and other agricultural produce quantity to nearby districts viz. Gulbarga and Zaheerabad.
Scope:
The project road connects Gulbarga with Chincholli (taluka head quarter) and Kalagi (taluka to be formed) and connects to the neighboring state through...
